Container 10 of the invention is a container,
in which the container is to accommodate the contents: - including, for instance, liquid material, fluid, half fluid, and solids such as solid body and particulate objects that are accommodated by the accommodating portion in the container,
- for example, in the container of the pharmaceutical container such as an eye drop container, a collunarium container, and an applying container and the like.
- As shown in
Fig. 1 (A)-Fig. 2 (B) , thecontainer 10 of the invention includes: - a container
main body 14, in which anaccommodating portion 12 that accommodates contents of the cross section elliptic shape, is formed, and - a
shoulder 16 in which the diameter of the containermain body 14 has gradually become small. - In addition, in the center of this
shoulder 16, in order to detachably attach a cover member such as cap (not shown), acapitula 20, in which amale screw 18 is formed and which is to put contents in and out incontainer 10, is provided. - Moreover, the inside container
main body 14 includes a sideperipheral wall 22 that extends downwardly from the outer periphery edge of theshoulder 16. - In addition, a sloping bottom 24 that protrudes downward like dome such that the radius thereof is gradually decreased from the lower end of this side
peripheral wall 22, and a bottom 26 of flat type in lower end are formed. - On the other hand, at the outer periphery side of the inside container
main body 14,
to surround the inside containermain body 14, an outside containermain body 28, which has a substantially same cross section as the inside containermain body 14, is formed. - In addition, the inside container
main body 14 and the outside containermain body 28 are integrated in thecapitula 20. - In addition, a
shoulder 30, of which diameter gradually became small, is provided to the outside containermain body 28. - Moreover, a side
peripheral wall 32 is formed downward from the outer periphery edge of thisshoulder 30. - Moreover, as shown in
Fig. 2 , anextended foot portion 34 is extended, such that alower end 32a of this sideperipheral wall 32 is located downwardly from bottom of the inside container main body. - In addition, in this Embodiment, the
extended foot portion 34 is formed to the circumference of the sideperipheral wall 32 of the outside containermain body 28. - Moreover, as shown in
Fig. 2 , the sideperipheral wall 22 of the inside containermain body 14 and the sideperipheral wall 32 of the outside containermain body 28 are formed as a two-ply lamination portion 36 at least in a portion of the sideperipheral wall 22 of the inside containermain body 14. - That is, in this Embodiment, the side

capitula 20, themale screw 18 is formed, this may be a female screw. - Moreover, for instance, the convexo-concave for the engagement of so-called "Snap fit type" may be formed.
- Moreover, in this Embodiment, the inside container
main body 14 and the outside containermain body 28 have the cross section elliptic shape. - However, the shape of the inside container
main body 14 and the outside containermain body 28 is not limited in any way. - For instance, such as a cross section circular shape, a cross section rectangle shape, and a cross section polygonal shape and the like may be adopted appropriately.
- By component like this, the interior content of the
container 10 can be reduced. - Moreover, the
lower end 32a of the sideperipheral wall 32 of the outside containermain body 28 includes anextended foot portion 34 that is extended to be located downwardly from the bottom 26 of the inside containermain body 14. - Therefore, the indication space portion where the indication of information on the label and the print, etc. without reducing the size of the container can be secured.
- In addition, the
lower end 32a of the sideperipheral wall 32 of the outside containermain body 28 includes anextended foot portion 34 that is extended to be located downwardly from the bottom 26 of the inside containermain body 14. - Therefore, the container itself can be self-sustaining and it is convenient.
- Moreover, when the container is used for instance for applying an eye drop and for a collunarium, the size of the caliber of the container main body is limited because of the nozzle and the pump.
- In this case, even if capacity necessary for limited usable years is secured by the size of the caliber of the limited container main body, the length of the sack body of the container main body never becomes long.
- As a result, the length of the
container 10 becomes long and thecontainer 10 itself does not enlarge and, and it is convenient for handles and the storage etc. - In addition, the side
peripheral wall 22 of the inside containermain body 14 and the sideperipheral wall 32 of the outside containermain body 28 are formed as the two-ply lamination portion 36 in a portion of the sideperipheral wall 14 of the inside container main body. - Therefore, the thickness of the side
peripheral wall 22 of the inside containermain body 14 and thickness of the sideperipheral wall 32 of an outside containermain body 28 and the thickness of the bottom 26 of the inside containermain body 14 and can respectively be small (i.e. thin). - Thus, the thickness of the side
peripheral wall 22 of the inside containermain body 14 and the thickness of the sideperipheral wall 32 of the outside containermain body 28 can be thinned. - As a result, the visibility is superior and for instance, it is easy to confirm such as kinds and the remainder quantity of liquids and confirmations of the foreign matter contained in contents, i.e. of contents accommodated in an accommodating portion of a container main body.
- Moreover, the thickness of the side
peripheral wall 22 of the inside containermain body 14 and thickness of the sideperipheral wall 32 of the outside containermain body 28 and the thickness of the bottom 26 of the inside containermain body 14 are thin. - Therefore, the flexibility is superior and for instance, when using it for the eye drop container, as shown in arrow C of
Fig. 1 , when the container main body is squeezed, the container main body is easily flexured and squeezed. - Accordingly, it is superior in the effect that contents accommodated in the accommodating portion of the container main body is discharged.
- In addition, a sloping bottom 24 that protrudes downward like dome such that the radius thereof is gradually decreased from the lower end of this side
peripheral wall 22 of the inside containermain body 14, and the bottom 26 of flat type in lower end are formed. - Therefore, the flexibility is superior and it is easy to squeeze.
- Accordingly, it is superior in the effect that contents accommodated in the accommodating portion of the container main body is discharged.
- Moreover, the side
peripheral wall 22 of the inside containermain body 14 and the sideperipheral wall 32 of the outside containermain body 28 are formed as the two-ply lamination portion 36 at least in a portion of the sideperipheral wall 22 of the inside containermain body 14. - Moreover, the
lower end 32a of the sideperipheral wall 32 of the outside containermain body 28 includes anextended foot portion 34 that is extended to be located downwardly from the bottom 26 of the inside containermain body 14. - Thus, as shown in Embodiment 2 described later,
- as disclosed in Patent Document 5 (
JP4357183 - when the squeeze play is done, the bottom 26 of the inside container
main body 14 is not downwardly protruded from the lower end of the outside container main body 28 (thelower end 32a of the sideperipheral wall 32 of the outside container main body 28) . - As a result, the container can be self-sustaining.
- In addition, when the container of the present invention is used for the pharmaceutical container in the eye drop container, the collunarium container, and the applying container, etc. for instance, the interior content can be reduced.
- That is, about the pharmaceutical formulated in the hospital, by reducing the interior content of the pharmaceutical container, it becomes easy to be going to consume in a short term.
- Therefore, the patient can use the pharmaceutical in the use time limit.
- Thus, a regular formulation becomes possible for the patient.
- In other words, the pharmaceutical is consumed in a short term so that the pharmaceutical should be formulated again.
- Accordingly, there is an effect that presses an inevitable going to hospital regularly for the patient who needs a regular examination.
- The method of
manufacturing container 10 of the present invention component like this is described on the basis ofFig. 3(A)-Fig. 6 (B) as follows. -
Fig. 3 (A)-Fig. 4 (B) is a schematic view that shows the injection molding step in which the parison is molded. -
Fig. 5 (A)-Fig. 5 (B) is a schematic view that shows the blow molding step. - First of all, as shown in
Fig. 3 (A) , an injection molding die 40 is prepared. - This injection molding die 40 includes a pair of a
left die 42 and aright die 44, which is able to abut and separate mutually. - Moreover, a
lower die 48 that can be detachably fitted is provided in arecess 46, which is formed when theseleft die 42 and the right die 44 are tightened. - In addition, when these
left die 42 and right die 44 are tightened, arecess 41 is formed to upper portion between theleft die 42 and the right die 44. - In addition, an
upper die 52, in which a protrudedportion 50 like substantially cylindrical that can be detachably fitted to therecess 41, is formed. - Moreover, a screw die 53 having a shape corresponding to the
male screw 18 of thecapitula 20 of thecontainer 10 is provided. - As shown in
Fig. 3 (A) , these left dies 42 and the right die 44 and thelower die 48, theupper die 52, and the screw dies 53 are tightened. - As a result, as described later, a space (cavity) 54 for injection molding is formed and it includes:
- a
space 54a for inside main body portion, which is corresponding to an insidemain body portion 60 of aparison 56 that should become the inside containermain body 14, is provided, and - a
space 54b for outside main body portion, - which is more enlarged than the
space 54a of this inside main body portion, and - which is corresponding to the
shoulder 30, the sideperipheral wall 32, and theextended foot portion 34 of outside containermain body 28 that is formed to extend downwardly. - Moreover, as shown in
Fig. 3 (A) , agate 48a connected with the injection molding machine (not shown in the figure) is formed to thelower die 48. - In addition, under such a condition, as shown in
Fig. 3 (B) , throughgate 48a of thelower die 48, melted resin is injected in the space (cavity) 54 for injection molding. - Thereafter, as shown in
Fig. 4 (A) , the left die 42, the right die 44, and thelower die 48 are moved in the direction such that they are separated mutually. - As a result, as shown in
Fig. 4 (B) , aparison 56 is formed to theupper die 52. - That is, as shown in
Fig. 4 (B) ,
thisparison 56 includes: - an inside
main body portion 60 comprising an accommodatingportion forming portion 58 that should become the containermain body 14, and - an outside
main body portion 66. - This outside
main body portion 66 is more enlarged than a sideperipheral wall 62 of the insidemain body portion 60. - Moreover, a
lower end 66b of a sideperipheral wall 66a of the outsidemain body portion 66 includes:
the outsidemain body portion 66 that should become outside containermain body 28, which has an extendedfoot portion 64 that is extended to be located downwardly from a bottom 60a of the insidemain body portion 60. - Next,
parison 56 formed like this, as shown inFig. 5 (A) , is blow molded by using a blow molding die 70. - That is, as shown in
Fig. 5 (A) ,
the blow molding die 70 includes: - a pair of a

upper die 76, and - a screw die 77 which is fitted to the
male screw 18 of thecapitula 20 of thecontainer 10. - Moreover, a
lower die 80 that can be detachably fitted is provided in arecess 78, which is formed when theseleft die 72 and the right die 74 are tightened. - In this case, as for the
upper die 76 and the screw die 77 of the blow molding die 70, it is desirable that, theupper die 52 and the screw die 53, which are used in the injection molding step in which the parison ofFig. 4 is molded, are used as they are. - As a result, the blow molding can be performed by using the same die.
- Therefore, omission of number of parts, simplification of step, and preference of the cost and mass production are attained, and time can be saved.
- Of course, once, the parison may be detached from the
upper die 52 and the screw die 53, that are used in the injection molding step, in which the parison is molded. - Moreover, it is also possible to reserve the parison and they are blow molded by using another blow molding die 70.
- Moreover, in the left die 72 and the right die 74, as shown in
Fig. 5 (A) , when theseleft die 72 and right die 74 are tightened,blow spaces peripheral wall 22 of the inside containermain body 14 are formed respectively. - In addition, as shown in and
Fig. 5 (B) , theupper die 76, the left die 72, the right die 74, and thelower die 80 formed like this are tightened. - Moreover, an air blowing open (not shown) is formed openably to the
upper die 76. - In addition, through this air blowing open and through the capitula of the
parison 56,
air is blown into the accommodatingportion forming portion 58 of the insidemain body portion 60, so that blow molding is performed. - In this case, as shown in
Fig. 5 (B) , - by a
